    摘要: A semiconductor failure analysis device includes a first analysis unit that emits first irradiation light along a first path set on a first main surface of a semiconductor device, a second analysis unit that emits second irradiation light along a second path set on a second main surface that is a back side of the first main surface, an electric signal acquisition unit that receives an electric signal output from the semiconductor device irradiated with the first irradiation light and the second irradiation light, and a computer that controls the second analysis unit. A size of a first irradiation region is different from a size of a second irradiation region. The computer emits the first irradiation light and the second irradiation light while a state where the entire second irradiation region overlaps the first irradiation region is maintained.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a method and a system for testing semiconductor device. The system includes a signal generator and a module. The signal generator is configured to apply an initial signal to an input terminal of a DUT during a first period; and apply a stress signal to the input terminal in a second period. The module is configured to: obtain an output signal in response to the initial signal and the stress signal at an output terminal of the DUT, the output signal in response to the stress signal including a first sequence and a second sequence, each of the first sequence and the second sequence having a ramp-up stage and a ramp-down stage, wherein a duration of the first sequence is longer than that of the second sequence; and compare the output signal with the stress signal.

    摘要: A contact probe for electronic tests includes an upper part having an end portion for contacting a first electronic component; a lower part having an end for contacting a second electronic component; and an elongated and deformable central body interposed between the upper and lower parts. The lower part has an enlarged head with a lower surface intended to rest at least partially onto a horizontal surface, the lower surface having an inclination angle from the horizontal surface onto which it rests when the probe is unbuckled and, when the probe is buckled, it can assume a position in which the lower surface moves to rest entirely onto the horizontal surface, thereby eliminating the inclination angle.

    摘要: A first power supply pad is configured to provide a first power supply to a power domain of the SoC in which the first power supply pad is configured to receive the first power supply from a source external to the SoC. A first signal pad is configured to receive a power ready signal from external the SoC which indicates when the first power supply to the power domain is fully powered up. A first power detector is configured to provide a first power detected output, which, when asserted, indicates presence of a power supply voltage on the first power supply pad. A fault detection circuit coupled to the first power detector and the first signal pad is configured to generate a set of fault flags in response to monitoring a relationship between the first power detected output and a logic state of the power ready signal.

    摘要: A plurality of devices for testing, connected in series using one or more redistribution layers (RDLs), are used to perform a semiconductor device test on a plurality of dies. As a result, the semiconductor device test may support thousands of gross dies per wafer or greater (e.g., 10,000 dies or greater). Furthermore, the RDL(s) may be removed after use. In some implementations, the devices for testing corresponding to the dies may execute the semiconductor device test sequentially. Accordingly, test data may be generated and may include a bit sequence, where a first bit in the bit sequence indicates an overall outcome for the test and one or more subsequent bits in the bit sequence indicate respective outcomes for each semiconductor dies or for each line of the semiconductor device test.
